The boat slips free from Golfo Aranci and the shore eases away: wind lifts the salt, gulls wheel and the water glints a clear Mediterranean blue. Within minutes the coastline opens to Capo Figari and the small crescent of Figarolo Island; dolphins often appear ahead of the bow, arcing and clicking as if inviting you into their domain.
